Senior Data Analyst

CTM Media Group
07.2012 - 11.2024
  • I was responsible for maintaining and upgrading various Access databases that supported key business operations, including Time and Attendance, Brochure Inventory, and Logistics
  • Through these efforts, I streamlined processes, ensuring accuracy and efficiency across critical business functions
  • I then collaborated with off-site international developers to migrate these databases to a MariaDB SQL server, hosted in the cloud
  • As the main point of contact during this transition, I communicated our needs, tested completed processes, and ensured there was no interruption in service to end users
  • During this migration, we added two additional databases: Expenses and Fill Charts/Data Warehouse
  • These upgrades significantly enhanced data accessibility, improved workflows, and provided better reporting capabilities for the business
  • I also helped support the drivers with troubleshooting technical issues with the tablets to determine if it was an equipment issue or a software problem and guide them through the next steps
  • Additionally, I have supported multiple acquisitions by analyzing data for due diligence, importing data into our systems, and assisting new employees in learning our systems
  • I regularly created ad-hoc reports for various departments using Heidi SQL and Access databases with an ODBC connection
  • I also assisted Operations daily with inventory corrections and closing routes, while maintaining data across multiple databases
  • My daily tasks involved using Access and Excel, leveraging advanced functions such as pivot tables, VLOOKUP, XLOOKUP, and macros to optimize data analysis and reporting

  • I was initially hired as an Inserting Machine Operator, but quickly took on additional responsibilities by assisting the office team with closing jobs during quieter production periods
  • This allowed me to gain experience with the ASI and MK systems
  • When a position in the Billing Department became available, I leveraged this knowledge to transfer into the role
  • There, I handled data entry across multiple systems (MK, ASI, AXIA), reviewed contracts for billing accuracy, and collaborated with the Accounts Receivable (A/R) department to ensure timely payment processing and issue credits as needed
  • Additionally, I created reports, organized files for the billing system, and helped develop an Access database that improved the efficiency and accuracy of file uploads
  • I also gained experience in extracting data from the database to streamline business processes
